Race A
Mike Young made the running in his Superspeed 1200 Anglia, team mate Chris Craft having been put out at the start when his car locked in first gear and later overheating. After the start Young had pulled out a useful lead over John Rhodes in the works 1275 Mini-Cooper S which in turn was a few lengths ahead of a group which comprised the Mini Cooper Ss of Tony Lanfranchi, Gordon Spice and Harry Ratcliffe. This little group in turn were being pressed by the 1000 cc class leader John Fitzpatrick in his Broadspeed Anglia. Spice and Lanfranchi were enjoying some side by side rubber burning exercises until a brakeless Ratcliffe shunted the Yorkshire driver up the rear, sending him off backwards at North Tower and leaving Spice in an unchallenged third place. When leader Mike Young lost a wheel, Rhodes inherited the lead and went on to take the flag six seconds ahead of Spice. John Fitzpatrick had a tremendous battle with his last year's team mate, John Handley who was in the second of the works Mini Cooper Ss. Fitz led most of the way but he eventually let Handley by to finish 0.2 seconds behind - not bad for 1000 cc. Anita Taylor had been holding her own in the second 1000 cc Broadspeed Anglia although hard pressed by Bill McGovern in the leading Imp. Towards the end McGovern slipped by on the inside of Ramp Bend to snatch second place in the class.

Race B
The big saloon car race was robbed of some of its spectacle as Brian Muir had shunted the 7-litre Galaxie in practice and wasn't competing. Roy Pierpoint led away in his unsupercharged Falcon, which is now fitted with Webers while behind him, all crossed up and obviously enjoying himself, came Peter Arundell in the fuel-injected works Lotus Cortina. These two indulged in some breath-stopping cornering until the Lotus Cortina went out with a blown head gasket, leaving Roy to an unchallenged first place. Mike Salmon held third place for the first lap but by second time round, Jack Brabham in the Alan Brown Mustang and Jacky Ickx in the second works Cortina were by him. Salmon fell back, his Mustang having blown both head gaskets and was later gobbled up by Sir Gawaine Baillie's charged Falcon at half distance.
Jacky Ickx and Brabham put on an exciting show, both obviously enjoying the race. Jacks' car is back on straight fuel injection, the services of the supercharger having been dispensed with. Roy Pierpoint, the reigning British Saloon Car Champion, cantered home to victory 5.2 seconds ahead of Brabham and Ickx who finished nose to tail. Paul Hawkins had the crowd on their feet at South Tower with his antics in the Willment Lotus Cortina with which he managed a second place in his class. Bill Bradley in his fuel injected Triumph 2000 stayed with Hawkins all the way to finish third in his class.
